AGM: Duleep Trophy likely to return to zonal format from next season
Duleep Trophy is set to return to its traditional zonal from next year after the state units gave a thumbs down to the four-team concept introduced this season. The red-ball event featured four teams — India A, India B, India C, India D. India A beat India C to win the competition earlier this month.
Usually, six teams from as many zones — central, east, west, north, south and north east — take part in the tournament, providing more opportunities to the players from their respective zones.
«The state units felt the format used this season did not give a fair representation to the players from their respective zones. The traditional zonal format gives players more opportunities zone wise and that is what was conveyed in the AGM today,» a state unit official told PTI after the BCCI AGM in Bengaluru.
The BCCI had rebranded the Duleep Trophy this season and the tournament attracted plenty of eyeballs with some star India players being part of the first round.
Rishabh Pant marked his red-ball comeback in this tournament scoring a confidence-boosting half-century. Shubman Gill captained the India A side in the opening round before handing over the leadership duties to Mayank Agarwal to join the India Test squad for the ongoing series against Mayank Agarwal.
